Creating Your "Happy Place"

Quite often meditation and visualization exercises will ask you to call
upon your "happy place". This place could be something you conjure up in your imagination, some place you have been before or would like to go. Once you establish your own personal "happy place"
and become familiar with it you can temporarily escape to this oasis whether deep in meditation or any other time you
need. Visualizing this place should invoke relaxation and calmness. It
can also be great for a quick mood booster...which is when mine comes
in most handy. I can't even think about my happy place without smiling
instantly!

My happy place, which I'll share with you shortly, is from
Topsail Island and the many memories that were made there during my short stay in North Carolina. Click on the link below for a short slideshow or my happy place and then read on for tips on reaching your own.

Next imagine what other sensations you might notice there (scents, sounds, feelings, etc.)

Spend as much time as you would like or have available.

About Me

I'm mom to a precious baby boy and a full-time college student attending online courses through Kaplan University. I have always had a passion for wellness...I get excited about things like eating healthy, going to farmer's markets, trying new fitness trends, being in nature, yoga and meditation, complementary and alternative therapies, holistic health and the list goes on. This blog started out as a project for one of my college courses to document our journey seeking health, happiness, and wholeness. Since then it has evolved into so much more as I have shared my thoughts, ideas, and experiences with you. Feel free to browse and leave some feedback if you like!
